Rock 'n' Roll Double Feature! - COTW #101

I have quite a line up for you today - not one, but two, of the greatest music acts of all time. Do you love Motley Crue and Hole? Of course, we all do . . . or did . . . at least a little . . . maybe . . . like 20 years ago.

[Lee's former assistant] now complains that Lee denied him overtime despite being on call 24 hours a day and working up to 16 hours a day when Lee was on tour. He also claims that whenever Lee was upset with him, he would dock his pay. Further, the lawsuit alleges Sullivan often paid for supplies for Lee, his family, and his business but wasn’t reimbursed for the expenses.
But perhaps the impetus for the lawsuit lies in Sullivan’s accusation that Lee smeared his reputation and interfered with his ability to get another job in the rock world. The lawsuit alleges that after Sullivan left Lee’s service, Lee began "a campaign of disparagement" that sabotaged potential tour manager jobs with the bands Bush and Godsmack.

Motley Crue to Bush to Godsmack - It's like he's working his way through the 80s, 90s, and 00s. I wish him well, and that he one day makes it to bands that are currently popular. HR Hero reports that the case settled for $400,000.
